I have an issue that started on build 10130, one drive simply keeps crashing on the pc and wont stay open for anything longer than two seconds before I see it trying to restart in the icon box at the bottom right. This is having a knock on effect as it is causing problems with the office preview apps as well. How to fix one drive?
View 1 RepliesDuring the installation in Windows 10 crashes 25% ( I have a PC with windows 7 and I have the upgrade to Windows 10 with a reservation ). It is already the third time that I try to update it always crashes on 25 % ..
View 1 RepliesEssentially, ever since I upgraded, my computer (which has had its issues in the past, admittedly) has been crashing repeatedly, multiple times per day, exact amount varying with what I'm doing. The most common error according to WhoCrashed is Video_TDR_ERROR, followed by DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, and HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.
I've noticed it crashes more often when playing a flash video or similar streaming, followed by media players, and then even sometimes when just browsing the web. The majority of the time, it will freeze first, repeating a sound loop varying from a split second to a full second or so until it finally bluescreens.
I've taken the following steps so far to try fixing it, after some google searching:
*Rolling back Nvidia drivers to .30
*Completely removing the nvidia drivers with the uninstaller utility, and then reinstalling them again
*Reinstalling sound drivers and wifi drivers.
*SFC checks, and DISM even when nothing was found
*Hard drive repair (Check disk and seatools)
*Virus scans
But no luck so far. I'm assuming it's driver/software related based on what I know of the errors and the timing of it all.
As a side note, I can't change back to 7 right now, it's a long story that basically comes down to the files getting deleted when they shouldn't have been. I'd also prefer to avoid Restoring, as that removes all programs (Effectively, I don't have any from the Store), which defeats the purpose of upgrading instead of doing a clean install, unless someone knows of a 'repair' installation option like Windows 7 had, that keeps ALL programs installed, but I can't find anything like that.

my computer has been acting strange as of 2 days ago. I was initially just browsing the net and everything stopped loading. I thought my internet went out and I shut down my computer thinking nothing of it. I tried starting it up again later that day but it would freeze a few seconds after I log in.
The strange this is, it works for about 5-10 s then my pointer changes to that spinning blue wheel and everything becomes unresponsive. I can't click anything or use my keyboard, but I can still move the pointer. Here are some of the things I've tried:
Restart in safe mode (same type of crashing occurs, can move mouse but can't do anything else)Restart in safe mode with command prompt to run sfc /scannow. (initial attempt froze at 100%, hard rebooted and tried again but now it freezes at the file verification stage)"Reset this PC", ( froze at 8%)

Since I upgraded to windows 10 my OneDrive account has not been syncing properly and regularly comes up with errors when I start up before abruptly crashing. A lot of the advice I have found online recommends e.g. right clicking on the OneDrive app in the bottom right however the OneDrive app does not actually appear for me (I have selected OneDrive to always show in the notification area in the settings but this does not work).
How I can fix/reset OneDrive so that it actually works properly on windows 10?
Also, I understand microsoft have removed the feature to allow you to access OneDrive online only files direct from explorer instead forcing you to download everything you need to access locally onto the computer. As this was quite literally the only feature that put OneDrive ahead of e.g. Dropbox/Google Drive.
No longer seeing OneDrive in programs or the ability to sync?

View 1 RepliesPrior to W10 I had a network NOT using Homegroup. Network worked who needs it? Now, I see some of my devices on the network, but when I try to share files I get a window requesting user name and password. Never used passwords before. I think Homegroup is sneaking in there, but all the devices say they don't have a Homegroup but some of them say the see a Homegroup on other devices. I've disabled Homegroup on all devices tried changing advanced network settings to no avail.

View 1 RepliesFor some unknown reason I am now receiving a black warning banner that pops in and out ever second or three appearing just above the clock telling me that the last USB device connected was not recognized by Windows. I should reconnect and try again or go on line a find a solution, or word to that effect.
This VERY frequent popping out banner and the associated sound drives me crazy and hide a very important part of the screen where other messages from the associated links appear.
I have opened Settings and turned off the Notification button and from the control panel under sounds removed the annoying sound......I did this after a test I tried by disconnecting all the USB cables including the mouse from the PC and then rebooting, but still the same results. I cannot identify to which USB the banner refers to.
My OS 10 is a Win 7upgrade and up until now, for the past 6 months this problem has not existed.
Just as a point in passing, this problem made it's self know just after a momentary power outage. My PC turned off but I have it set so that I have to manually reboot.
I have had power outages before without any problem. In one occasion I even had a lightening strike somewhere down the line as it blew the fuse-box breaker out necessitating a replacement purchase.
Just as a point, when I swap my Win OS 10 HD from the caddie and replace it with my Win 7 OS, there is no problem at all.
I have tried several Restores to different dates to no effect.
Now here is the bad part. I actually Ghosted this Win 10 HD back to the beginning of November last year when I know I never had this problem, and yet there it is.
I tried to install Windows 10. At first, it worked! I was all happy, so went on to login. Once I logged into my microsoft account, I was greeted by a blackscreen where I could move my mouse around. so, I rebooted, shift+clicked Restart, and got to the troubleshoot menu. From there, I clicked on "Reset My PC," since it appeared to be the only solution. It rebooted my computer, and suddenly it said something like "Windows restarted or shut down unexpectedly. Please press OK to continue the installation." I clicked OK, and it just rebooted and said the same thing, so I looked up a tutorial, which said to change something's value in regedit from 1 to 3. This sure made the "Windows restarted unexpectedly" go away, but now it just restarts repeatedly, as if it DID pop up, and I pressed OK. I tried multiple things, and I really don't want to send my PC to a repair.
